Opinions on 75 upgrades etc:

[macafee2]

I don't know what yours has so
Fuel burning heater, self dimming mirror, cruise control, electric sun blind.
first two you will really appreciate this time of year
3rd really appreciate any time of year

for fun, puddle lights, lit door trims...not seen them in the flesh but do a search as a trader here does them and they look nice in the pictures

Cheers Dave, already on the case, it's only done 49,000 with full history and tbh... it's in pretty good order mechanically, all I've had to do so far is a diesel manifold / egr de-coke, and change all the filters and fluids. just got the bottom mount to change and it's good to go.
So this is why I'm leaning towards a few mild retrofit upgrades.

Plus without your "pram handle" we'd have nowhere to put our coffee cups

It's a Club SE so has got some nice toys already, had cruise in several previous cars and must say .... not a fan, never on long enough to appreciate it ! rear blind would be nice, and already has auto dip mirror.
Purposely chose a model 'without' leather too, had it too many times in other cars, just can't get on with it.
It's mainly going to be retro fit body parts and a few custom touches, I'm working on a cnc cut grill badge atm, just finalising the design.

I will let you know as I have just taken the 11s spoke of my MGZT & will be trying them on the Tourer in the next few days I will post what they look like compared to the star spokes it as on now.

Not sure if 11s spoke will look right on a Tourer if not they will be in the for sale section before the end of January and I will have the star spokes refurbished

I have a very good friend of mine that's had Rover after Rover, all 800's, I took him out in my 75 today for a ride, he just fell in love with it!
So... looks like we'll have another member shortly.
Btw ... he's the one with all the machine workshop equipment and is working on my custom cnc grill badge.
Maybe in the future he may offer his services for one off custom stuff, he loves nothing better than to turn billet into swarf! haha.

Excuse for sounding a bit dim but ... will that grill fit straight on a pre-face 75 with no modding?
